Payments and subscriptions
ShipFast.dev provides a payments and subscriptions functionality out of the box based on the integration with Stripe. This functionality is divided into two parts: payments and subscription management.
Payments
The payments functionality allows users to define payment methods (including multiple cards) that are stored in the Stripe merchant account. Users can edit and update their payment methods at any time.
The payment form allows users to make transactions with a defined amount of USD, using an already added payment method or adding a new card for one time charge. Successful transactions are added to the transaction history list.
Subscription management
The subscription management functionality allows users to select one of the three pre-defined plans in the Stripe admin panel: Free, Monthly, and Yearly. The selected plan is automatically registered as an active subscription in the system and can be used in the business logic of the application. The system supports changing and canceling subscriptions based on the rules defined by the application administrator in Stripe.
If you would like to learn more about the technical aspects of the payments and subscriptions in ShipFast.dev, or if you need to adjust it to meet the specific needs of your application, please refer to our Payments (Stripe integration) guides for detailed information.
Having Stripe payments integrated from the start of a SaaS project offers several advantages. First, it allows for a seamless user experience, as users can easily subscribe to paid plans and make payments without leaving the application. Second, it allows for better financial tracking and reporting, as all payment information is stored in the Stripe merchant account. Finally, it provides a scalable payment solution that can grow with the application, as Stripe supports a wide range of payment methods and currencies.
Payments and subscriptions functionality is a critical component of any SaaS application. ShipFast.dev offers a robust payments and subscriptions solution out of the box, integrated with Stripe. This functionality includes payment method management, a payment form for transactions, active subscription management, and the ability to change and cancel subscriptions.
